  • It wasn’t that long ago that there was a lot of young blood coming into the cigar industry, sons and daughters of cigar makers and brand owners who were beginning to make their own marks in the industry. It was a group that included Tony Gomez of La Flor Dominicana, Jeff and Jessica Padrón, and Patricia and Raquel Quesada along with Terence Reilly, Hostos Fernandez and Esther Quesada, collectively referred to as the next generation of Quesada Cigars.Now a new crop of second generation cigar makers is coming into the fold, including Alec and Bradley Rubin, the sons of Alan Rubin of Alec Bradley Cigar Co.In 2018, the pair released their first line, a limited edition called Blind Faith, the name a nod to the trust that they were seeking from retailers to carry the cigar. In 2019, the pair released their sophomore cigar line, Gatekeeper, recruiting the assistance of one of the most well-known cigar makers in the business, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr.

    “Working with Ernesto opens up new doors for Bradley and me,” said Alec Rubin via a press release when the cigar was announced. “Ernesto is a gatekeeper to new opportunities and experiences for us—thus the name Gatekeeper.”

    The line uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper and Nicaraguan binder, with the fillers coming from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. It is being made at Carrillo’s Tabacalera La Alianza S.A. factory in the Dominican Republic.
